Abstract of the project
"The research project has as its objective the development of an analysis flow for the detection of suspicious sites characterized by the accumulation of abandoned materials. This methodology prototype makes use of an integrated multi-disciplinary and multi-technological approach.
The approach envisages the adoption of various remote sensing techniques based on a downscaling procedure through which indicators regarding the presence of areas of accumulation of abandoned materials can be identified. In particular, satellite images and drones will be used. The identified areas will be investigated, where possible, through in situ analysis with air quality measurement devices based on advanced sensors mounted on terrestrial rovers, the device will be able to sample and measure the concentrations of pollutants in the vicinity of the areas of interest odors usually caused by accumulation of material of various kinds. It is important to underline that currently there is no methodology capable of integrating multi-platform remote sensing data and chemical-environmental information that can be applied in a smart way.
"With reference to S3 Calabria (DGR 294/2016) the project falls within the innovation area: "Environment and natural risks" and is consistent with the technological trajectory "Techniques, products and devices for risk analysis and assessment hydrogeological and other environmental risks". Furthermore, the project is in line with the sectors of Tourism and Culture and ICT and Innovative Tertiary.
The project foresees the experimentation of a new methodological approach for the identification of suspicious sites characterized by the accumulation of abandoned materials through the adoption of remote sensing systems and the prototyping of innovative sensors. The project proposes to use innovative processes for the reduction of environmental pollution.
The Institute will have the task of developing the multiparametric downscaling methodology for the detection of ground anomalies that can lead to the presence of suspicious sites characterized by the accumulation of abandoned materials. The activities involve the use of high resolution satellite data and optical sensors in the near infrared and thermal spectral range positioned on SAPR. The activities also envisage the construction of a modular platform consisting of a system of optical sensors for the analysis of the spectral and chemical ranges for the analysis of air quality which can be easily transported by hand or mounted on a terrestrial rover in case of analysis of areas that are difficult to access. A further aspect will consist in the evaluation of an economic and implementing investigation of the process in all its phases and the environmental benefits. In detail, the articulation of the project is divided into the following Work Packages (WP):
WP1 - Territorial analysis and initial data collection (Head: Multiservizi srl)
WP2 - Development of a multiparametric approach based on remote sensing systems for the identification of suspicious sites characterized by accumulation of abandoned materials (Resp.: CNR-IIA)
WP3- Design and implementation of the pollutant monitoring system (Head: CNR-IIA)
WP4 - Application and validation of the procedure investigation procedure in test areas using SAPR and terrestrial rover (Resp.: CNR-IIA)
WP5 - Realization of the Abandoned Material Accumulation Cadastre (CAMA) and APP development (Resp.: Multiservizi srl)
WP6 - Analysis of procedures, costs and environmental benefits (Head: CNR-IIA)
WP7 - Communication and dissemination of results (Head: Multiservizi srl)"

"The objective of the project is to implement a "smart" analysis methodology capable of identifying both suspicious sites where there is an accumulation of abandoned materials and the areas most prone to this phenomenon in order to protect natural environments and public health This procedure is based on multi-parameter surveys of data remosatellite systems, advanced technological supports (RPAS and terrestrial rovers) equipped with optical sensors and advanced sensors. The use of the various optical/chemical parameters used is based on the possibility of exploiting the possible anomalies generated by the accumulation of materials generated directly or indirectly on the territory (in particular on the soil and vegetation).
The general objectives of the project can be summarized in the following points:
● Identify a procedure for detecting the accumulation of abandoned materials that can be applied by the municipalities that have expressed their needs and disclosed to other administrations of the regional territory for a possible extension of the analytical process;
● Reduce the environmental pressure on the territory and the degradation of landscape and natural areas;
● Sensitize the community to reduce the abandonment of materials in the area.
The following specific objectives are therefore defined within the project:
●Creation of a multi-parameter analysis procedure based on the integration of radiometric and physical-chemical data for the identification of suspicious sites characterized by the accumulation of abandoned materials within the municipal territories;
● Integration of the results in a GIS/WEBGIS system which will carry out the task of registering within the Municipalities. A Cadastre for Abandoned Material Accumulation - (CAMA) will thus be created as a container of the surveyed sites and through which it will be possible to evaluate the sites to be reclaimed;
● Creation of an internet site for dissemination and information about the project results;
● Application development for smartphones;
● Identification of the procedures and the costs and environmental benefits of the process."
